[Verse]
Bb F Gm
Trying to change my mind about
how everything went
Bb
when the historian
Gm
on the radio said
Bb Gm
there is nothing in the world more dangerous than
F Gm
a defeated army headed home
(stay inside, civilian)
F D#
All I can tell from this old rock is
Gm
Someone is buried here
F
The joggers are the only ones
D#
comin in, and they just
Gm F Bb
keep on going

Bb Gm
At night I think I had trouble telling
Bb
bats from birds
Gm
Now I see
Bb Gm
Like cut up bits of paper
Bb Gm
Like little pairs of scissors
F
They tumble from the bridge
D# Gm
Up and into the dark
F D#
Thought up by a mind that must have been
Gm
Some kind of sinister
Bb
question mark
D# Bb D# Bb D#
[Verse]
Bb
Father gets up at
D#
4 a.m.
F
to post a motivational video
D#
on Youtube again–
Bb D#
“People of the world, nobody loves you
F
half as much as I
D#
am trying to.”

Bb
On the train home
Gm
I am hoping
Bb Gm
that I get to be very old
F Gm
And when I’m old I’ll only see people from my past
Bb Gm
And they all will be happy to see me
[Ending] (x6)
F D#
we all will remember things the same
Gm
we all will remember things the same
